Commissioning engineer came in the other day (2nd visit whilst I wasn't there) and mentioned we need to put a pipe stat on the secondary loop pump.
We've only ever wired these as on/ off time controlled.
Apparently it's regs (heating engineer we...

Hi, I'm just curious about what will happen if I use an MCB lower than the calculated current rating. I have a 1kVA 220v stepdown to 110V transformer, calculated downstream MCB current rating would be 11.3625 if i'm right I multiplied the secondary current to 125%? what will happen if I use a...

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for some information or diagrams on Delta-Wye transformers. Most diagrams that I have got, give me information for 3 lines to a Delta configuration then on the secondary side you get the Star configuration.
I am really happy with the above concept, I would like to...
